Russia can rebuild their military the next years and start a new attack from much closer to as example Zaporizhzhia or Dnipro. They could just build up their next attack and Ukraine couldn't do anything until they would cross the new border. |
They'd jump right over Ukraine's fortified lines, they wouldn't even need to wait a few years, they could come up with a bullshit excuse the next week to stop the ceasefire and then rush Ukraine's troops with their typical throwing bodies at the wall approach all the way into Kharkiv, Dnipro and Zaporizhia. To let Russia jump over the fortified lines would be a horrific strategic mistake, it sets the stage to allow them to have a new staging ground, one which isn't behind miles of trenches, mines, etc. It really shows how fucking clueless the Trump admin is, they seriously need a military guy in these meetings to tell them how stupid this idea is.
And all Ukraine has is some vague useless piece of paper that promises not to attack them again (Budapest Memorandum) and America vaguely promises they'll help them out if they're attacked again (Budapest Memorandum) because it's not like Ukraine already that exact thing in the past (Budapest Memorandum) /s. The only guarantor of Ukraine's security is either NATO or NATO troops literally sitting on the frontlines, not hundreds of miles in the distance in Western Ukraine but right in the firing line of Russia, anything else is as worthless as Budapest Memorandum.
Also Zelenskyy's political career would be over, he would be overthrown in days, likely a military leadership would take over.
